Sacramento, Calif. — All life depends on water for survival. But while more than two-thirds of the earth is covered with water, preparing it for human use—and then cleaning it once used—takes a lot of work.

During California’s second annual Water Professionals Appreciation Week (October 6–14), water professionals are being recognized and celebrated for their pivotal role in protecting public health and the environment.

Just because something can be flushed, doesn’t mean it should be!
Check out Giacomo Luca’s and ABC10’s full coverage on how
flushable wipes are causing big problems for our sewer system.
This problem is completely preventable, and customers are the
answer! Toss those wipes in the trash. Only human waste and
toilet paper should ever be flushed.

ABC 10’s John Bartell went out in the field with SASD’s crews to
see how we deal with fats, oils, and grease in the sewer, which
is an especially vexing problem during the holiday cooking
season. Watch the report
